As it inevitably does, winter still grapples for control of the skies with spring. In Chicago that means 70 degree days followed by the heavy snowfall we received yesterday morning. The nice thing about dogs though, is that no matter which kind of “spring” day it is, it’s always beach weather. Undeterred by the snow, I scraped off the car and we had our day at the beach.

It was surreal to see summer-like waves roll up on a snow-covered shore

For the pups, snow just meant more fun powder to romp in

The sting of a spring snowstorm was significantly lessened when I watched the dogs ham it up

“Hey buddy, we see you taking photos. We got a blog, we’re ready for our close up.”

The day wasn’t what I would have hoped for, but it was more fun than I could have expected. The weird weather made for some fun photos

And a couple goofy pups

With this crazy spring weather, you just never know what you’ll see.

For example, we’re pretty sure we saw these dogs elect this wizard as their leader

So if you’re visiting Chicago with your dog in the spring, you’re going to the beach. Now as to whether you’ll need a beach umbrella or just a regular umbrella? Better pack both.
